The Saskatchewan Rush have signed two players, including one who developed his skills locally.
Anthony Hallborg, from Warman, Sask., signed a one-year deal with the team on Monday.
Hallborg was drafted 58th overall by the Rush in the 2017 National Lacrosse League (NLL) entry draft from the Junior A Saskatchewan SWAT.
The 22-year-old defenceman attended training camp last year and played in one pre-season game.

The other player signed by the Rush to a one-year deal is no stranger to head coach and general manager Derek Keenan.

He also played field lacrosse for the University of Western Ontario Mustangs.
The 24-year-old transition player was drafted 48th overall by the New England Black Wolves in the 2015 NLL draft.
